The evaluation will focus on the ease of constructability, process benefits, and overall project quality along with construction, lifecycle, operation, and maintenance costs.

Project elements for the two pump stations include the construction of new pump stations including all civil, architectural, landscaping, structural, mechanical, electrical, and I&C engineering.

  • Fountain Springs Pump Station will include five (5) new 3,150 gpm pumps and a rehabilitation of the existing dual force main.
  • Indian Creek Pump Station will include two (2) new 350 gpm pumps and a new 6-inch diameter dual force main, along with other site improvements.

The existing pump stations will be demolished after the new pump stations are constructed and are placed into service.
